I love this light, refreshing summertime salad so much I could probably eat it everyday.  Packed with nutritious and flavorful ingredients, it could not be a more guilt-free option on your dinner table, either as a side or the main course.  The key is to chop everything about the same size (about the size of a corn kernel) to make the salad uniform and gorgeous.
